as one of the forum's resident MT/kickboxing fanboys i would really like to know what Diaz meant regarding Lam. Could you ask him about that Layzie? Not trolling or stirring, i am genuinely curious if he thinks the thailand fighters arent worth training with or something?

Stephen Holder - Im not gonna get into ANOTHER fucking debate about whether or not Condit deserved the decision in the Diaz fight, its fucking pointless.

Whats fucking obvious in the GSP fight is that moment where Rogan pointed out that Condit was starting to let loose and then boom he landed that headkick - that moment, never happened Condit's fight with Diaz because in THAT fight Condit never really engaged Nick and when he did it didn't really do shit so shut the fuck up.

Condit was shook and won the Diaz fight by not engaging and doing no real damage via pussy points with insignificant kicks and striking. There wasn't a single time that Diaz was in trouble in the Condit fight, and there wasn't a single person watching Condit/GSP that didn't jump out of their seat during the third round thinking GSP was going to lose that fight.

I'm not saying GSP didn't push through and overcome adversity last weekend but the fact is Condit never even had Nick deep in the water like that. So how anyone can sit there and pretend that (using Condit as a measure) GSP would beat Diaz is fucking ridiculous even if you think Condit deserved the win against Diaz.

Nick Diaz will be the ww champ in 2013. Its goin down you pussyfacetaintlickincocksmokermotherfuckaz.

alkysmurf -
Diaz needs to fight gsp, he has a chance to beat gsp. Now if you put him in a fight before gsp, make it someone who has not proven their willingness to out on a horrible dishonorable decision win by exploiting the rule set and point fighting.

Why on earth does the ufc and some of you "fans" insist on ruining a potentially epic match between gsp and Diaz.

Can anyone honestly say nick is not one of the most exciting fighters in The game?

UFC and the fans did not ruin anything.

Nick had a title shot but he avoided the press conferences in major markets to help promote the fight.

From a business point of view that was a major problem, so the UFC had to take him off the main event, he did not seem responsible enough to help with the promoting process for a main event (and no, not promoting as in shit talking from his car).

Since then he has proven he can handle the duties but he lost the Condit fight and got suspended. You can't give a title shot to a guy coming off a loss when there are other more deserving contenders waiting in the wings (unless we want Sonnen vs. Jones type matchups in every division).

All nick has to do is win one more big fight and the UFC will be more than happy to give him a title shot.

The words your using make sense, but who cares this is nick fucking Diaz!

Let him bang bro!

No in reality I agree that he needs a win over a "legit" fighter. Just make it one who be exciting. OK we all know it is possible to out think nick and win by points. So match him up with someone more exciting, someone more not kos or Fitch...

I'd like to see diaz vs Rory, if he gets past bjKampman, dude is a tough testDiego, its a gimmee for nick but Diego has some name value, plus bad bloodCondit, doubt he fights that way ever again.Hardy, cause I like to see him get hit.And the very last resort kos, just because I know he'd try to Daley diaz, and the skrap pack might jump him for it.

As a complete Diaz jock rider I agree. He doesn't deserve to fight for a tittle right now. But neither does chael or several other instances, so if it happened I'd be stoked! The ufc can easily justify nick getting the shot, saying Hendricks needs more exposure. Which again I think is BS, but if it gets me a Diaz/gsp fight at least it finally panned out for a fight I want to see.

Frat: Diaz/gsp is greatest fight Eva, and Hendricks deserves it more but I wouldn't care if he gets screwed.

Having just watched Diaz vs Sherk again, I want to see Diaz vs GSP. Diaz outstruck Sherk and totally neutralized Sherk on the ground. Maybe a slight edge to Diaz. His anti-wrestling was sick. And that was 7 years ago.

does he give a fucking fuck that it was posted? i imagine not but i'm a little curious.

When he finds out, I'm sure he will. Whomever it is that was filming this video is obviously an idiot.

oh, the yup was that he's going to be pissed. got it, thanks!

I hope whoever it was that was recording that video enjoyed their time hanging out with Nick Diaz. . . It will probably be there last.

Hello Layzie. I am new to MMA forum here but long time Nick Diaz fan. 209 GRACIE JUI JITSU 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK 365 DAYS PER YEAR! WUT?I am also an aspiring MMA journalist. Seeing as how you have had much success in the field I was wondering if you would give me some instruction.I have noted from your reporting that having a strong friendship with a UFC fighter would be an asset. I live in a small town in Canada and I don't have access to any UFC athletes. Well there is one here but I do not speak french so there is a language barrier and he does not train at a Gracie school so I am convinced that his one UFC victory is but a fluke. Anyway I am babbling. I would appreciate any guidance, I have written 2 articles so far concerning The UFC if you would like to read them.

Lol at the notion that Hendricks deserves a title shot. A couple of close split decision "wins" -- in fights that most people (correctly) think Hendricks lost -- is all that separates Hendricks from a 3-3 record in his last 6 fights. In the past 2 years he's lost to Koscheck, Pierce and Story. Hell, he barely got by T.J. Grant (majority decision) and very well could be 4-4 in his last 8. Diaz put together 11 consecutive wins, earned the Strikeforce belt, narrowly lost a judges' decision that many fans believe was wrongly decided, and now some fans want to pass him over for a title shot in favor of a .500 fighter? Gimme a break.

Fitch and Kampmann are better than every one of Diaz's wins combined. It really is easier to shine in lesser organizations. How about Diaz fight a wrestler for once in bazillion years and prove he can even get through a 3 round fight without taking his ball and going home to retirement?

Where does this myth -- that Diaz is helpless against wrestlers -- come from? You'd have to go back 7 years to find an example of wrestlers presenting a problem ("holding him down").The last time Diaz faced an elite wrestler was vs Sean Sherk. Diaz had no problem dealing with Sherk's wrestling. None. Sherk was something like 1 for 19 on takedowns (Diaz was 1 for 1) and the one TD Sherk got was immediately reversed by Diaz. Sherk got the "W" on the scorecards on the basis of throwing a lot of punches that didn't land. Diaz had the clear advantage on the ground. But folks look at Diaz's record, see the loss against Sherk, and assume that he never figured out how to deal with wrestlers.GSP knows that Diaz's anti-wrestling is going to present a major challenge.

Well if he actually had fought a wrestler in 7 years, maybe it would've actually been shown. He won't take a fight with Mayhem at 185(big fight on showtime and would've made alot of money) but would fight Silva at 185. Supposed to fight Hieron but decides to smoke some pot instead of facing a wrestler. Had a title fight booked against the best wrestler in MMA but decides to skip his promotional duties(GSP has said he absolutely hates doing PR stuff but being the outstanding professional he actually does what he's supposed to).

IronShriek - Lol at the notion that Hendricks deserves a title shot.

So when Nick narrowly edges out split decisions, they should be counted as wins but when Hendricks does, they should all be counted as losses? And when Nick loses decisions they should also be counted as wins? You're a moron and should go back to lurking.

Hendricks: 9-1 in the UFC, 5 fight win streak, KO'd 2 top 5 ranked opponents in last 11 months and has beat 3 top 10 opponents in a row.

Diaz: 6-5 in the UFC, 0 fight win streak, never beat a top 10 opponent at WW (and if you're going to say BJ is top 10, please list his top 10 WW wins in the past 8.5 years. Hint: Hughes was not top 10 in 2010).

Don't be lazy. You have look at the specific fights. No "narrow split decisions" in Diaz's recent 11 fight win streak. Hendricks' "win" over Koscheck was an outright robbery -- and Koscheck wasn't even in the title hunt at the time (compare with Diaz's recent close decision loss against Condit). Likewise with the Pierce fight.

Hendricks is so desperate for a title shot now because he knows that his stock will never be higher than it is now -- coming off two lucky first-minute KOs in his past 3 fights which tell us very little about how he has really progressed as a fighter. All we know about Hendricks is the last time he was seriously tested by a top 10 fighter he came up short and was gifted a decision win by the judges.
